WHS Halo adds to top team in plans for growth

WHS Halo, the leading UK window and door systems company, is adding to its top team and strengthening support to fabrication customers in trade, retail and public sector markets.

Elaine Beney has been appointed to the new post of Commercial Director and will lead the company’s commitment to provide focused support to the sales functions and customers, across all market sectors. She will also be an integral contributor to marketing and the new product development programme.

Elaine Beney has been a key part of WHS Halo’s team for the past 13 years and has sales, marketing and operational expertise gained during 24 years experience in the window industry.

WHS Halo has also appointed Richard Garland to the position of Sales Director, Public Sector and Commercial Markets, to spearhead the company’s growth in these two important markets.

Richard Garland, who has over 14 years experience in sales and business development with WHS Halo and 28 years experience within the industry, will focus on supporting fabricators and installers in seizing the major opportunities in social housing and school refurbishment, where WHS Halo is already the ”number one” window system.

He will continue to lead business development for Bowater Windows & Doors.

Shane Gray has been appointed to the position of Logistics Director.  Shane joined the company 23 years ago.  As Logistics Director, Shane will continue to champion WHS Halo’s industry leading delivery performance of 99.7% On Time In Full as well as contributing to the operational efficiency of other areas of the business.

Announcing these additions to the top team, Chief Executive Joanne Holland said:

“These are great appointments for WHS Halo and for our customers. We now have a dynamic and decisive top team that is very clear about where we are going and how we can support our customers.

“The general economy and the window market are facing tough times and that means management teams have to think and act differently if they are going to prosper.

“We cut our cloth to fit late last year and continue to streamline our business so we are strong and profitable. That means we are in good shape to give our customers what they need, which is a very efficient, highly competitive service built on technically excellent products.

“We are delivering “On Time in Full” service levels of over 99% to customers today. In our recent customer satisfaction survey we scored in the high 80’s and 90’s out of 100 across the board, even when we were asking customers their views at the worst possible time in overall market conditions.
